Link? And be sure to include WHERE it came from.He's funding his own campaign. What makes a candidate drop out of the race is his donors. If they think he won't win, they'll stop sending him money. Trump won't run into the same problems others do when their donations start slowing down. Laying off staff, skipping smaller events (and losing those votes), being able to afford tv ads, radio ads, etc.
In addition to having unlimited funds, he has the advantage of being able to truthfully say "I'm not beholden to anybody". This will help Trump tremendously if he gets the nomination. His Democrat opponent won't be able to say the same thing, including Sanders.
Most people would agree that we need somebody like Trump who can't be bought. This will start to resonate as the field narrows and will be a major issue in the general.
What are your thoughts on this?
Trump has received about 7 million in donations so far.
Is it the amount that you're asking about? Or donations at all?
And my source is the Federal Election Commission. Putting his donation total at about 7.7 million.
Make that about 7.5 million. Donald donated $250,000 to his own campaign.
